Question

The house is built of bricks and stone is this correct sentence

Answer 1

No, this is not a correct sentence. The correct form should be:

The house is built of brick and stone.

Explanation:

The nouns brick and stone in the given sentence are generic and both countable and uncountable nouns. The class of material nouns like brick, stone, gold, silver, iron, protein etc are generally referred to in singular form rather than it’s plural even if it represents many.

If the same material noun is used to give a definite answer like, ‘I have 10 bricks’, then the plural form can be used. In situations like the given sentence, where the number of stones or bricks used in house construction is uncountable, the noun is used in its singular form, like, brick and stone.
